Chapter 521 Yang Ming Wants to Establish Three Major Universities in Hong Kong!

Yang Ming believes that talent is the most important.

Although talents can be poached from all over the world, in many cases, the best talents are cultivated yourself.

Especially for Yang Ming's layout in high-tech, it is even more important to cultivate talents yourself.

What's more, the IQ of the Chinese is not inferior to that of whites or Asians.

"I plan to establish three universities in Xiangjiang to cultivate talents for Xiangjiang and the Imperial Group."

Three colleges and universities?

Mailisi and Zhou Kaixuan were both a little surprised.

Some time ago, Yang Ming announced the establishment of three universities in the three major families of Haojiang and Haojiang.

"I plan to establish Eastern University, Eastern Polytechnic University, and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology. Among them, these three universities are comprehensive universities. Eastern Polytechnic University is more focused on science and engineering, and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology is more focused on science and technology, computers, software, and semiconductor majors. As for the investment scale, I am prepared to invest US$100 million each.”

The total of the three universities is 300 million US dollars. Calculated, according to the current Hong Kong dollars, it is nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This is definitely a lot of money.

"Boss, a university invests US$100 million?"

Melis asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it is US$100 million. Of course, it is not a one-time investment, but a gradual investment year by year. Invest US$100 million within five years. Whether it is university land, buildings, the introduction of professors, etc., this requires a lot of money."

Calculate it based on the current land prices and house prices in Xiangjiang.

$100 million is really nothing.

Because now a Kinmen building can be sold for more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Kinmen Tower is in the most prosperous Central District of Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming plans to build these three universities in slightly remote places. In addition to cheaper land, they are also quieter and suitable for those students to study.

Like foreign famous schools, they are basically in small towns, far away from big cities.

Zhou Kaixuan was really shocked.

Aren’t these three universities about to use US$300 million from the Yang Ming Foundation?

"Boss, I think the establishment of colleges and universities is originally a matter of the Governor's Office, the Education Department, and even the Financial Secretary. Even if it is a private university, it can still get financial support."

Meilisi said.

Yang Ming shook his head.

"Mailisi, there's no need for this, we can just invest in it ourselves."

Yang Ming didn't want the Governor's Office to get involved, because he was naturally considering the future problems of the three universities. If he accepted money from the Governor's Office, it would be different.

In this case, why invest in setting up colleges and universities yourself?

It's just that Yang Ming doesn't want to be interfered by the Governor's Office. Like foreign universities, like those private universities, it is basically decided by the board of directors.

Successful colleges and universities actually do not lose money at all and will not be short of money.

In terms of colleges and universities, Mai Lisi and Zhou Kaixuan have already taken notes.

There is also the issue of domestic water and electricity in Kowloon Walled City.

Yang Ming knew that the ordinary residents inside were actually very short of water.

In addition to groundwater, water can only be brought in through cars. With tens of thousands of people living there, it is definitely impossible to use normal water.

Now that the Imperial Group has taken control of the Xiangjiang Water Company, Yang Ming feels that it can solve the water problem there. However, some interest issues will inevitably be involved at that time, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to solve.

These need to be resolved through negotiations between the Governor's Office of Hong Kong, the Imperial Group, and those involved in the Kowloon Walled City.

As for domestic electricity?

That area is under the control of the China Electric Power Company. The Heung Kong Electric Company controlled by the Empire Group cannot pull wires through the Kowloon Walled City.

Yang Ming thought that he could send Zhou Kaixuan to meet with the Kadoorie family and ask them to talk to the people in charge of the Kowloon Walled City to solve the electricity problems in the Kowloon Walled City as much as possible, including the safety of electricity.

When Yang Ming saw the densely packed wires inside, he felt horrified. They were too dangerous. In addition to being prone to electric leakage and electrocution, it was also more likely to cause fires.

In that kind of place, if there is a fire, it will be more dangerous if they burn in series.

Except these are the most common life problems of residents in Kowloon Walled City.

Another issue is the cage house where Lai Guowen and others live.

Historically, until the 21st century, there were still more than 100,000 or 200,000 Xiangjiang citizens living in such cage houses or coffin houses, which shows that this matter is relatively difficult to deal with.

Yang Ming knew that as far as the residents of Kowloon Walled City were concerned, it would be easy for him to solve them.

There may be hundreds of thousands of people living in such places in Xiangjiang now, so it is not that easy to solve it.

Since he promised Lai Guowen and others, Yang Ming felt that he could deal with some of them first.

When the right time comes, Yang Ming will solve them all.

This may also affect the interests of Xiangjiang real estate developers.

Nowadays, Yang Ming himself is the largest landowner and real estate developer in Xiangjiang. When he does things, he will naturally consider the interests involved.

. . .

Yang Ming, Mailisi, and Zhou Kaixuan discussed here for a long time.

In the eyes of Mai Lisi and Zhou Kaixuan, Yang Ming, as a justice of the peace in Xiangjiang, is indeed very dedicated to his duties. I am afraid that no justice of the peace can do it like Yang Ming.

There is a price to pay for doing all of this.

When the three of them finished talking.

"I'm going to meet the Governor, Mr. Mailihao, tonight, and Zhou Kaixuan will go with me."

"Yes, boss."

This matter is dealt with.

Malis also wants to return to London, sit in London, and continue to handle the large-scale privatization affairs of Country Y.

Zhou Kaixuan was going back to Yanjing.

Tang Yun, who came with Zhou Kaixuan, had returned to Yanjing in advance to handle the affairs of the Empire Group's Yanjing office after meeting her relatives and friends who missed Hong Kong, including her cousin Rong Zhijian.

The three of them came down from the study.

They had afternoon tea upstairs.

Mai Lisi went back to the Empire Group first.

In the afternoon, Lin Dezhong sent someone to deliver a visiting card to the Governor's Office.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Many newspapers and periodicals related to the evening newspapers in Hong Kong were delivered.

There were some evening newspapers about Sir Yang's first visit to Kowloon Walled City as a Justice of the Peace.

Yang Ming's photo appeared in the newspapers, and it was the news that he was sitting on the stone steps, with Mai Lisi and Zhou Kaixuan next to him, as well as those Chinese and white sirs, and the background was the scene inside the Kowloon Walled City.

Many Hong Kong citizens were surprised to see these newspapers. They had heard that Sir Yang was awarded the title of Justice of the Peace. Unexpectedly, Sir Yang actually went to the Kowloon Walled City.

Yang Ming's visit to the old lady in the Kowloon Walled City and the cage house where Lai Guowen and others lived were all photographed and published in those newspapers.

Many Hong Kong citizens may not have thought that there are so many people living in such places in Hong Kong.

For the Governor's Office, the Kowloon Walled City is like an indelible scar.

The cage houses where ordinary residents live are like a slap in the face.

On the surface, Hong Kong is now the most prosperous city in Asia and even the world, and it is also the third largest financial city in the world. The hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens living in cage houses are actually a very large group.

Whether it is the Kowloon Walled City or the ordinary people living in cage houses, I am afraid that the Governor's Office cannot solve it.

It's not that they don't want to solve it, but there is really no way to solve it.
